Mine?

I'm looking for a Charles Barkley PSA 10 Fleer rookie, So I have "1986 Barkley PSA 10" search on.

some bozo keeps reposting a Jeff Barkley 1986 Topps Tiffany card for $25. I always get excited and then fall for stupid Jeff Barkely

( i realize i could update the search term, but tried to keep it intentionally wide...)

    Add "-jeff" to the search.

    Just add ' -jeff' to your search string, problem solved image I have to add -(andy,gene,shane) to several of my Larkin searches that I want to keep general, but not sort through a bunch of stuff I'm not interested in.

    ETA: I guess Lee is faster at typing than me (and less verbose).

    Can you exclude multiple terms from one search?
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Yes, use '-(exclusion1,exclusion2,etc)'. I only use it with comma and no spaces and it works, I haven't tested if other formats are equivalent.

    ETA: Link to allowable Boolean logic in search strings for eBay.
